Mars Blackmon

might be to try to live on Mars. President Obama and President Trump have been supporting Nasa to be able to send people to Mars by the 2030’s. Astronauts have had many “trials” (living in a small space with other people for 6-12 months) around the world. Nasa thinks it will take about 6 months each way to Mars and the astronauts would have to live on Mars for about 2 years as they wait for the planets to realign for their trip home. The astronauts have a plan to colonize Mars, grow plants and…

Do Not Colonize Mars Did you know that if the dust storms on Mars are large enough, they could knock out the sun for days? That is one of the inconveniences of inhabiting Mars. There are many people who think we should colonize Mars, and some people disagree. I believe that we should not colonize Mars. First, the weather on Mars is intense. The weather is extremely frigid. The article “What Would It Take to Live Here” states, “ The average temperature is -81 degrees Fahrenheit.” (p. 19)…

cause a need for space ship and some other technological advances portrated in the movies. Maybe even in the near future teleportation will be in and walking will be the thing of the past. While it may be far fetched to say we’re gonna be living on mars soon, don’t be surprised to see someone possibly using the force to get their way in the near…

an event known as a transit — only about 13 times per century. Currently, transits of Mercury always occur in either May or November (this changes over hundreds of years), with spring transits only occurring about a third of the time.

planets being discovered every day. I chose to write about the dwarf planet Ceres, according to Elizabeth Howell, (Space.com Contributor), “it was first discovered by Sicilian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi on Jan. 1, 1801, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the closest dwarf planet to Earth.” [1] I took a huge interest in finding out more about this dwarf planet because the whole mystery of it containing water vapor on its surface can be believed to have its own atmosphere as well as…

“In 1999, the well-known American climber Conrad Anker discovered Mallory’s body on a sloping edge at 27,000 feet, where it had come to rest after an apparent fall seventy-five years earlier.” (Krakauer, 1999, p.18). After conducting further research on this statement, nothing invalidates it but one part; Mallory’s body was found 63 years prior to when Krakauer said he was found. In 1936, Everest pioneer Frank Smythe spotted Mallory’s body during a telescope survey. It was right where Mallory…

Astronomy is an ongoing process because we are always working on new and improved things. Right now NASA is planning a one way ticket to mars. NASA is building a ship powerful enough to take people to Mars, it will have enough supplies for 1,100 days in space. They are sending down overs to build the station and bring supplies. They will not come back on this mission but hopefully next time they will. Scientific discoveries have influenced society by even some of the earliest times. For example,…

Raina Orion Erika Harnett ESS 102 April 15, 2016 Robotic Missions: Mars Pathfinder This research is in preparation to write the fictional article currently titled “Tales of A Space Robot”. This article will be about an extremely advanced AI robot that has spent the past 50 years cataloging and exploring a nearby solar system for life, potential colonization, as well as other scientific research. The research presented below gives an idea of what types of data the robot can collect or potentially…

Harry Bittering’s perspective changes from ‘nothing is safe here; got to get back to earth’ to ‘this is nice. Where did all the humans go?’. His change is influenced by the martian ‘poison’ which changes him into a martian. Anything on the martian land gets tainted in it, and he gets infected as well. However, he had the most amount of resistance, for it says, “No! cried part of himself, deep down, put away, locked tight, suffocating. No! No!” (Bradbury, 488). This change says that identity may…

Pluto, the most puzzling world in the solar system, is the second largest dwarf planet made of ice and rock. It is 5.9 billion km from the Sun; it has the width of North America. It is a very cold place with minimum temperature of -370 degree Fahrenheit on the surface. One year on Pluto is equal to 248 Earth’s years; it takes a very long time to orbit the Sun. In addition, a day in Pluto lasts 6 Earth’s day. Pluto is a world that stands with light and shade, what causes this contrast may be that…
